The Velvet Rope back then would become the equivalent of today’s Lemonade by Beyoncé. The Velvet Rope would introduce themes of self love, depression, masturbation, same sex relationships, BDSM, online/long distance dating, domestic violence, homophobia and celebration of the LGBT community. Janet coming from a dark place in life would release this gem to to the world for it to break into the Billboard 200 making it her fourth consecutive album to do so. The album would top over five major countries and sell over 10 million copies worldwide.
